Charlie Batch dealt with being treated like a preseason afterthought with class and dignity. Good things happen to good people and he's earned his spot on the roster for another year. It would've been a real pity if they had cut him after Ben came back. Not that I wished this string of bad luck on Dixon but it sure makes the decision of what to do when Ben came back much easier.
